Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Binglanghe — 'Betel Nut River' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring associated with a river whose name reflects the betel nut palms (Areca catechu) that line its banks in the tropical or subtropical landscape of southern China, perhaps in Hainan or Yunnan province where betel nut cultivation is a traditional agricultural practice. The combination of tropical agricultural landscape and geothermal spring water creates a distinctive South China bathing environment where the warmth of the mineral spring is complemented by the lush, fragrant vegetation of a subtropical river valley. The spring provides warm, sulphurous mineral water in a scenically and culturally distinctive southern Chinese setting.
